It is worth noting that the República Argentina Cup is played on handicap and ties are permitted during the qualification stage.
The 2023 edition of the República Argentina Cup will feature young and talented players, as well as some of the biggest stars of the sport. Among the latter are 10-goaler Bartolomé Castagnola Jr., who will participate with La Natividad, whom he already won the contest back in 2016 with his father, Lolo; his brother, Camilo (“Jeta) and Juan Chavanne; Alfredo Bigatti, Alfredo Cappella, Carlos María Ulloa, Gastón Laulhé – who will play with his sons Rufino and Beltrán – and the 2021 champions, Cuatro Vientos, with the father-son duo, Santiago and Lorenzo Chavanne.
